    Assembly line food in a crowded restaurant. No attention to details in the food preparation. String sugar snap pea in $48 red snapper dish. Over cooked shrimp with dry out bacon tasteless on grit. Pie crust comparable to worst frozen version in our local supermarket.

    Superb service and food from start to finish. Logan was extremely knowledgeable and spot on when it came to his recommendations. And I finally decided he also brought me a very small serving of the gumbo just so I could taste it. It was amazing! As was everything. Absolutely exceptional.

    Great live music. Our waiter was really helpful and added NOLA charm. Shrimp and grits with red eye gravy was delicious. Our waiter recommended the copia (a fish we’d never heard of). My husband said it was delicious. Great bloody Mary’s and a nice wine list.

    Whenever in New Orleans we always make Mr B’s our first stop. Crab Cakes are the best we have ever had and get them every time. Never disappointed. Consistency and quality never falter. Service is warm, friendly, and efficient. As a Chef and owner of a restaurant I highly recommended this restaurant. They achieve excellence every time!

    Always delicious! Chicken is my husbands favorite was a bit salty but good. The red snapper was new veggies a bit cold but delicious fish very fresh. The shrimp absolutely delicious tastes like the ocean. For dessert we had the bread pudding was delicious as well. Definitely a must when we visit New Orleans.

    Dwayne and crew were fantastic! And I’ve been dining at Mr B’s since the 80’s and every meal has been wonderful. Amazing consistency! Gumbo Ya-Ya tastes just like it did in 1990.
